This is really odd. I cannot acces NAM from home, it takes me straight to the Lotus Elise site with no trace of the MINI site. I was freaking out, thought maybe the site had gone offline or that maybe the Lotus Elise site had taken over. I'm at work now, and everything's working fine, but at home I cannot access it. I cleared my cookies out, but it didn't do any good. Somebody please help, I need NAM at home. I'm on a PC by the way.

You mean they didn't switch your MINI for an Elise like everybody else?

Your ISP's DNS server hasn't updated. Call them and tell them to force an update. Tell them the domain name and what IP is should be (see below).

Use this URL in the mean time: http://69.93.166.248/

Enjoy!

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense (your ISP hasn't caught the change to the new Server).

Mark migrated NAM to the new server first and the IP of the old box was set-up as a redirect to the new server. After migrating NAM, Mark migrated PureSportsCar (also residing on the same server), so that IP address was then changed over to redirect Puresportscar traffic to the new server until everyone's ISP caught the change.

I e-mailed Mark a link to this thread, so he'll probably comment on this too.

Strange that your ISP still hasn't updated DNS as its been more than a week now. I would recommend calling them and asking them to force an update like Dominic suggested. Also, in the meantime you can use the IP address to access the site as mentioned above. Let me know if you have any problem with getting your ISP to update. Thanks!

I hate to throw this wrinkle in, but one time with the company's ISP, they couldn't get the changes done right when McCloud changed some things on their network. For weeks I couldn't get thru to a particular web site, even when I used the correct IP address. The site had gone thru some DNS changes as well, and for some odd reason, McCloud was locked in at another. Even directing to the IP didn't help. It was truly one of the wierdest things I've seen, where even using the real IP address didn't help. It was as if the packets (for IP x.x.x.x) were being sent to the wrong router which probably was a dead end. Odd. Really Odd...
